O MOST, “GOING GREEN” IS now accepted
terminology.And to a growing number of parking facility managers, owners and operators, going green is no longer a social
ness today. However, every sustainability program has its hurdles. How do you avoid the “green washing” effect? Where is your “green” – return on investment – for going green? How do you “make cents” for a greener future for the parking industry? “Green washing” is making green investment decisions
without fiscal responsibility and accountability. Every busi- ness decision requires fiscal responsibility, and going green should be no exception. A growing number of organizations ranging from uni-
versities, hospitals, airports and municipalities to general paid parking companies have promoted their green initia- tives.What are the costs of going green, and what were the financialmetrics that supported those investments?Youmust fully understand the money being generated or saved within green programs.
Where is my green for going green? Look up and see the light. The operating expenses of a parking facility typically
range from equipment and operators to general day-to-day maintenance. The single biggest impact to the bottom line is the existing 24/7/365 lights in your parking facility. As we all know, the cost of electricity is progressing in a sin- gle direction. Simply stated, the lights are vaporizing precious dollars
fromyour pocket. Light-emitting diode (LED) lights are here and ready to
serve the parking industry. With them, you can slash your lightingwattage-burn by 70%.You can have lights that last for more than 10 years (100,000 hours). With them, you can impact your bottomline. A disruptive change is among us: the convergence of
LED technology with a “Lighting as a Service” business model, where going green while saving green intersects. Everything in our universe has evolved into the digital
economy. Lighting is ready for this
evolution.An LED is a semiconductive computer chip serving as a vessel for the transmission of information. LEDlighting requires nomercu- ry and has no
filaments.An LED light can be controlled for daylight harvesting and motion sensors…from your PDA, for example. But all LED lights for the parking industry are not the
same. The best should provide superior lumen output, spread of illumination and adequate color temperature. The right ones also should eliminate a portion of your existing fixtures. Now we aremaking cents!
